House panel asks White House for documents related to Bergdahl swap

Last year Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was released from his Taliban-associated
Haqqani terrorist captors in Afghanistan in a trade for five top Taliban
terrorists who were being held inside the Guantanamo Detection Center in Cuba.
While the White House hailed the trade as a victory for the US in their never
ending campaign for leaving no solider behind, others, like Bergdhal’s own brothers
in arms, immediately recognized the trade as a dangerous political maneuver, even going as
far as to point out that the captured soldier wasn’t captured at all, but voluntarily
walked away, or deserted, his post. But this didn’t stop President Barack Obama
from presiding as a Master of Ceremonies at a White House Rose Garden gathering in
which the released soldier’s father spontaneously began quoting from the Koran.
“Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim,” announced a heavily bearded Bob Bergdhal, which
when interpreted means, “In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most
Compassionate.”

Here are five reasons why releasing Bowe Bergdhal in
exchange for the Taliban 5 was so dangerous, and why Barack Obama may himself face criminal indictment for it.

--The Taliban terrorists who were released to Qatar, will
eventually get back into the terrorist racket and once more, become a lethal
enemy of the US. Three of the so-called Taliban Five have already made
contact with other Jihadists, or so CNN reported on January 29 of this
year.

--Releasing a suspected deserter such as Bergdhal was a slap
in the face to other US soldiers who not only fought bravely on the field of
battle, but who also lost their lives in the search for Bowe Bergdhal.

--Traditionally, the US has never negotiated with terrorists
in fear of setting a precedent that would make every soldier and/or citizen
stationed or traveling abroad a terrorist target. Since Obama’s negotiations
with the Taliban, the dangers of innocent westerners being captured, held for
ransom, and/or killed by terrorists abroad has increased dramatically.

--America is now seen as weak. Once considered the strongest
and most steadfast of the world super powers, America has become considerably
weaker in the eyes of the world, including Russia, since the Bergdhal
exchange. This shift in America's global standing has not happened by accident, but is a strategic maneuver on the part of the President who appears to loathe the US to such an extent, that he is forging an alliance with Iran, the enemy, while breaking bonds with Israel and NATO. Clearly, the President has an agenda, and it is not a pretty one for Americans.

--The President of the United States’ first priority is the
security of its people. President Obama was not acting on behalf of the
American people and their security when he initiated the exchange for Sgt. Bowe
Bergdhal. Bergdahl was not sick or near death as Obama and his minions had originally asserted. He had not acted honorably on the field of battle. He was not courageous. He was a deserter and soldiers died trying to locate him. Obama was acting on behalf of his own political agenda when he traded with the enemy for Bergdhal...an agenda that includes
the closing of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, which ironically, has now become a
political pipe dream given the Middle East's and North Africa's current swift and rapid deteriorating political situation.
